Mojo is the moment when we feel we’re ‘on a roll’, firing on all cylinders, and everyone around us senses it. When we’re moving forward, making progress, achieving goals, clearing hurdles, passing the competition—and doing so with increasing ease. Sports people call this being “in the zone;” others describe it as “flow.” Marshall describes it as Mojo--“that positive spirit toward what we are doing now that starts from the inside and radiates to the outside.”
Mojo plays a vital role in our pursuit of happiness and meaning because it is about achieving two simple goals: loving what we do and showing it. And it becomes apparent when the positive feelings toward what we are doing come from inside us and are evident for others to see. In other words, it is the moment when there’s no gap between the positive way we perceive ourselves—what we are doing—and how we are perceived by others.
MOJO: How To Get It, How To Keep It, How To Get It Back If You Lose It
By Marshall Goldsmith and Mark Reiter
(Hyperion, 2010)
Marshall’s Got MOJO
In his latest book, MOJO: How To Get It, How To Keep It, How To Get It Back If You Lose It, Marshall Goldsmith, along with co-author Mark Reiter, has hit another home run. Following on the heels of his blockbuster book What Got You Here, Won’t Get You There, he gives us MOJO that dishes up another heaping serving of vintage Goldsmith: Smart, straightforward, and significant stuff for success. Simply put, Marshall, ably filling the shoes of the late Peter Drucker, describes ultimate life goals--Happiness and Meaning--and shows us how MOJO can get us there.
Marshall describes this MOJO as “that positive spirit toward what we are doing now that starts from the inside and radiates to the outside.” And if you’ve ever had the opportunity to see Marshall teach, you’ll see MOJO in action. This book contains loads of easy-to-read examples, heartfelt stories, original research, and plain old hard-won experience and wisdom. It’s the kind of book you want to give to your friends, coworkers and especially to your family members and say: “Here, don’t take my word for it (the importance of happiness and meaning in life), read Marshall Goldsmith’s newest book!"
